Spare batteries for your headlamps. - I also carry a small AM/FM/Wx radio that takes AA batteries...same as my headlamp so spare batteries fit both. - Depending on the on/off switch on your headlamp, you may want to take a battery out of the lamp while it's in your pack...prevents your lamp from ...

Great TR....and what an experience!

Not being a big fish fan...I bet I'd learn to love it!

Very nice pics!
